  • "Enable NAT Traversal": Check this box - this will effectively enable the Remote User NAT Traversal feature
  • "Server behind NAT": If the sipXecs is deployed inside a private network, check this box (this internally enables the near-end NAT traversal logic), otherwise leave blank.

High Availability Consideration:  If the sipXecs deployment is a High-Availability (HA) one, Remote NAT Traversal can still work but the HA brings about a few complexities with respect to step 2.  Basically, Step 2 has to be repeated for each server found under "System->Servers" and each server must be configured with unique a 'Public Port" value and non-overlapping RTP port ranges as defined by the 'Start RTP port' and 'End RTP port' fields found under the 'Advanced Settings".  So for example, if the HA deployment has 3 servers, the following settings could be used:
